Rumours sparked last week that Intu's Victoria Centre - just a 30-minute drive from Derby - could be the site of the brand's first UK shop. The company has now been teasing fans over the news on Twitter.

While the brand might not be officially confirming that it will be setting up shop in the city – or even returning to UK at all - next year, it's not exactly denying it either.

After one Twitter user asked if the rumours of a Nottingham shop were true, Sephora coyly replied , “Sephora stores are currently opening all over the globe, however at this time we do not have specific details.”

The brand then dropped another huge hint after another make-up junkie enquired about a potential opening in the city, writing in response: “We currently have no confirmation. Please stay tuned!”

Something for the shopaholics out there

“CALLING ALL NOTTINGHAM BEAUTY LOVERS! Don't ask me how I know, but SEPHORA is coming to Vic Centre in 2018!!!!!!” they tweeted, which caused a wave of excited responses from fans hoping to see the make-up shop make its triumphant return.

But while it seems like the company are staying tight-lipped about any Nottingham plans for now, eagled-eyed beauty fans noticed that the shop did recently add a UK section to its website which may soon reveal the location of their return to Britain.
